Abstract

Purpose of review Salvage surgeries are rarely offered and performed in prostate cancer except for isolated lymph node metastases. Meanwhile, data are sufficient that salvage radical prostatectomy is recommended by the guidelines. In the following review, we focus on different treatment strategies comparing open and DaVinci laparoscopic approach with regard to functional and oncologic outcome. Of further interest are palliative surgeries. Recent findings Salvage radical prostatectomy is mainly performed in high volume centres. Data are increasing on minimal invasive surgery, although data on functional outcome are conflicting. As patients with prostate cancer have longer life expectancy even in metastasized disease, the possibility of developing symptomatic progression increases as well. We need to be aware that the confrontation with symptomatic prostate cancer patients will be more frequent in the future and that there are surgical approaches to palliate these patients sufficiently. Data on minimal invasive salvage radical prostatectomy are getting more valid and are an option in experienced centres. Salvage radical prostatectomy is a definitive curative option for the patients. To avoid local progression, palliative local surgeries need to be discussed with the patients.
